In my cultures, food is a physical form of love. Whether I’m going to my Japanese or Chinese grandmother’s place, the first question out of their mouth is, “Hi. Have you eaten yet?”

Wow, have we been eating!! Many of our meals are provided by the generous donations of some wonderful Californians. For example, Lori, our amazing contact at the Jewish Community Center where we are staying in La Jolla, has kept our tummies fed with Papa John’s, smoothies, burritos, Dorito salads, and plenty more.

Also, last night Anuj’s aunt Laura and uncle Rob threw a block party for R4WH where the menu included Irish beef stew, spaghetti, quiches, and baked potatoes.

Our dessert included tasty selections such as homemade brownies, angel pie, blueberry pie, and apple cobbler, which was enjoyed while listening to the neighborhood band, Pork.

Prior to the ride, I was a little afraid that our meals would solely consist of gatorade, powerbar, and powerbar goo. I’m happy to report to Grandma Seiki and Grandma Yee that, YES, I am eating VERY well!
